EXT. CAR PARK - DAY

Steve is walking through the car park with his headphones on listening to rock music.

STEVE (V.O)

When I first listened to rock music, I knew I wanted to play bass and start a rock band. I just had to find three other suckers to join me.

Steve stops before walking through the back entrance to the pub and looks a the camera.

STEVE

(Looking at the CAMERA)

Saturday night at our local, best night of the week. There is always a band on and the place is always fully packed. This weekend was no different.

Steve enters the pub and goes to sit with three other guys.

INT. PUB DAY

Four young guys are sitting in the corner, CARL, ANDY, ROB and STEVE, drinking and laughing. They are all the same age, 19, they all look tired and hungover.

CARL

Another round

STEVE (V.O)

That going to the bar is Carl he's the drummer. Great friend, can be hard to handle at times, loves the ladies and his alcohol.

ANDY

Just a coke for me please.

STEVE (V.O)

That ordering a coke is Andy, he's our guitarist, bit of a lightweight. Great guy, best friend, always has my back.

ROB

I will have a cider please, and I do believe music is in order.

STEVE (V.O)

That's Rob he's our lead singer. Quiet guy, real family person, doesn't really drink a lot.

STEVE

I'll have a pint please.

STEVE (V.O)

I'm Steve and I'm the bassist. I had the idea for the band, and we are known as The Rockers, and last 

night was our night.

STEVE

Thanks man, unfortunately I haven't heard much about your band.

ALEX

Well we just recently got back together, we used to perform under Rage Cage.

ROB

Yeah I've heard of them, I saw you play the waterfront last year, as a support act you were brilliant.

ALEX

Alex walks off back to the counter and Rob and Steve walk out of the store.

EXT. BUS STATION DAY

Carl is waiting for the bus home, when he sees two attractive brunette girls sitting at the same stop. He goes over to talk to them and tries to use his charm on them.

CARL

Hey ladies.

BRUNETTE 1

Hi

CARL

I'm Carl, and who are you lovely ladies.

BRUNETTE 1

CARL

Lovely to meet you both. Do you like rock music?

CARL

Well I'm a drummer in a rock band, fancy coming to watch us play tonight, at the waterfront.

AMY

Sarah gives Amy a weird look, and talks to her privately

SARAH

(Whispers)

AMY

I know, but he’s hot.

Carl smiles to himself when he hears Amy say that.

CARL

We are on at eight, this is my number text me when you’re there and I will come and meet you. If you want proof check us out on Youtube search The Rockers.

Carl gets on his bus, and smiles at the girls as the bus pulls away.

INT. ANDY'S KITCHEN DAY

Andy is in his kitchen, making a cup of tea with his shirt off and his tracksuit bottoms on, there is a tattoo of The Rockers on his right shoulder blade. Stacey walks up behind him and kisses him on the neck.

ANDY

Morning beautiful.

STACEY

Morning hun.

ANDY

What you want to do today?

STACEY

I'm going to meet Laura and Abby for lunch they want a catch up.

ANDY

I was gonna take you for lunch, but that can wait.

STACEY

You're a sweetheart, but we need to be careful still cause I don't want Rob finding out just yet.

Andy turns away and drops his head like he is angry and upset.

ANDY

It has been two months now, I like you a lot and I feel bad enough that I haven't told Rob already.

STACEY

I like you a lot to. Okay we’ll tell him in the next few day. Just not today, because you have your gig tonight, and you all need to be focused.

ANDY

Okay, I agree. Tonight is important, there is going to be an agent and a record producer there as well, and we have to make a good impression.

STACEY

We’ll tell him soon tho, I promise. We just have to be careful. You know what Rob is like.

ANDY

I know, but...

STACEY

Andy after Tory left he has looked after me with the help of Aunty Pam. I'm just scared he will hate me, cause Tory slept with one of his friends.

ANDY

Stacey, you are not like her. She beat Rob every day, and took drugs and had sex in front of you both.

STACEY

I know, I just don't want to disappoint him.

ANDY

He’ll be fine.

STACEY

I hope so, I think I will go and see Aunty Pam this afternoon.

Stacey walks in the living room, dropping her top at the door seductively, Andy follows her and closes the door.

INT.PUB DAY

Steve and Rob are playing pool and talking about the night ahead.

ROB

Tonight will be awesome.

STEVE

Yeppers, its gonna be great.

ROB

You wanna another drink?

STEVE

Yes please mate, I'm just gonna go to the toilet.

As Steve gets to the window where his phone is, he sees Carl getting off the bus and walking in the direction of the pub, Steve runs outside and goes to get him.

EXT. STREET DAY

STEVE (CONT'D)

Yo Carl you coming in for a drink.

CARL

Hey man, yeah sounds good and who are you with.

STEVE

Just Rob at the moment.

CARL

Ah old four eyes, how is he?

STEVE

I think he’s nervous about tonight.

CARL

Nothing to be nervous about, I'll just have a smoke. Then I’ll be in.

STEVE

Okay, no worries.

Carl sits on the step of the pub smoking, when he looks up and see's a poster on the local notice board showing that The Rockers are playing at the waterfront, he smiles to himself and goes into the pub.

INT.PUB DAY

CARL

What's up four eyes?

ROB

What's up douche bag?

CARL

Touché, been to the city, met two lovely ladies and invited them tonight.

ROB

Fair enough mate, but you seriously need to stop with all the girls.

CARL

Nah mate we’re only young once. They are step sisters, so that is one I can cross off the list.

ROB

You are just wrong man, they’ll never agree to it.

CARL

That's what alcohol is for my friend.

Rob just walks away with a cigarette in hand, through the side entrance to the back bar, as Steve makes his way round from the other side.

STEVE

Where's Rob?

CARL

I think I upset him, so he went for a cigarette.

STEVE

Oh, what did you say.

CARL

I was telling him about the girls I met today.

STEVE

Not that again.

CARL

Not what again?

STEVE

The whole girl situation.

CARL

I can't help the fact I enjoy the ladies and he hasn't experienced them yet.

STEVE

Mate that's harsh, he’s waiting for the right girl.

CARL

I know and I respect that, but I don't go on at him for being a virgin.

STEVE

Mate that’s different, just tone it down around him please.

CARL

Okay will do.

As Andy walks in puts some money on the pool table.

ANDY

What up bitches, who fancies losing at pool?

CARL

Mate you're shit at pool, what you chatting about.

ANDY

I've won every singles game I have played this year in the league.

CARL

They all let you win.

ANDY

I'll tell you what I will play one handed and still kick your arse.

CARL

Your on, wanna drink first?

ANDY

Rum and coke please.

CARL

Andy, have I got a story for you.

ANDY

If it's about the two girls in Norwich, Robs already told me.

CARL

What a spoil sport, well one for me and one for you.

ANDY

No thanks, I'm happy at the moment.

CARL

Fine. I will try and have them both at the same time.

ANDY

Mate they are step sisters that's not good. Plus I hear Laura and Stacey are coming so good luck.

CARL

Great, just what I need stalker girl, getting in my way of the step sisters. I just won't put her on the list to come back stage.

Andy and Steve just laugh at Carl. Rob walks in and takes one look at Carl and just bursts out laughing.

CARL

What you laughing at?

ROB

The fact you have a stalker, and you aren't the only other person who can put names on the list.

CARL

You wouldn't dare? You have Stacey and I know the other two wouldn't.

ROB

Mate, that's what you think?

Rob gives an evil smile. Andy and Steve burst out laughing again.

CARL

You guys are evil bastards, now are we playing pool or not.

ANDY

Of course, but I'm going to let you guys play, as you all need practice.

Andy heads to the bar, leaving Steve to set up the pool table. Rob goes to the toilet and Carl goes to put music on.

As Steve pots the black ball Carl spots Stacey and Abby walking past the window. He rushes out of the door.

CARL

Gotta go.

ROB

(Shouting)

Where you off to?

ANDY

Let's face if it’s Abby, no chance of an answer.

As Steve puts his phone on the window sill, to get signal.He catches a glance of Carl, Steve chuckles to himself once he sees who it is Carl is talking to.

STEVE

Another round boys?

ANDY

Yeah why not, How about I kick your arse at pool Rob.

ROB

I’m up for it, I will kick your arse.

ANDY

Mate your dad beat your mum, more times than you’ve beat me.

ROB

Man, don't speak about my parents like that again.

ANDY

Sorry mate, just slipped out.

ROB

That's what your ex said.

STEVE

Good come back sir.

Rob is not to impressed, but all three of them start laughing at the same time.

ROB

Fancy placing a wager on it.

ANDY

Yeah what you thinking.

ROB

How about a tenner.

ANDY

You’re on. Steve can referee the game properly to make sure you don't cheat.

ROB
